Standard GED Transcript Request Form

The GED transcript contains the scores to the General Educational Development test.

A GED transcript is an official document that contains the results to a standardized test to achieve the General Educational Development diploma, also called the High School Equivalence diploma. This document is necessary to obtain employment or to register for higher education courses.

GED Transcript

You can obtain a GED diploma after passing a test designed to give the equivalence of the high school studies. The original GED transcript is mailed directly to the employer, agency or individual. Upon reception by the GED transcript office, the request takes from seven days to three weeks to process, depending on the state.

Standard Request Form

A standard GED request form contains the personal information of the GED test-taker (name, date of birth, social security number, year the test was taken, city or county where the test was taken), the address of the business to be sent ( if not sent to the individual), and the money order (the amount varies from state to state). The form must be signed and dated by the GED student in order for the office to release the information required.

Duplicate Transcript Request

You can obtain a duplicate of your GED transcript in case you lost the original. The conditions vary according to the state, but generally you fill out the same transcript request form and enclose the required payment in the form of a money order.
